Better picture of the sockets on the inside. For installation, I rented the Ball Joint tool from OReillys. It had the right-sized cup to fit on the outer, metal edge of the bushing.

Rear end cradle. Was very proud of the hole I drilled into the top that would support the tube. It ended up being just a shade too small, so when I had it on the hoist for paint, I cut the holes into a shallow V-shape. Worked much better.

Filler neck right where I wanted it. Ideally, would be maybe a 0.25" to the right, but not something I'm going to sweat about.
